When Marcus weighed the watermelon in his garden a week ago, it weighed 2.8 pounds. Yesterday, the watermelon weighed 4.67 pounds.

How much greater was the weight of the watermelon yesterday than when Marcus weighed it a week ago?

You would subtract, 4.67-2.8= 1. 87 lb, that's your answer

The answer is 1.87 pounds heavier. This is found out by subtracting 2.8 from 4.67.
Hope this helps!
